Afternoon Aural: Plastic Operator

Plastic Operator are Mathieu Gendreau (electronics) & Pieter Van Dessel (vocals). Respectively hailing from Montreal and Antwerp, the pair met at London’s Westminster University in 2001 where they were both studying audio production. They bonded over a shared love of two decades of fine electronic pop music from artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Akufen and Pet Shop Boys.

We love all those musicians, so we thought we’d check out what Plastic Operator had to offer. And, quite frankly, we’re in love. Check out “Folder” above and “Peppermint” after the jump…
